The Occidental - Auckland

If you are at Auckland on a Monday, do consider visiting The Occidental and ordering the 1kg Oyster mixed grilled version which is good for 2 to 3 pax sharing. I feel it is more than enough for 2 person to feel very full though. The main reason why we recommend monday is because only on monday, you get Oyster promotion discount, it is very worth the money and it is really nice. You just have to order drinks and it would be fine. As we didn't know that the main dish will make us full, we order another beef with mashed potatoes side dish which makes it too much for us to finish.

Hobbiton Movie Set Experience

After so long, I am going to upload to my blog again, especially since knowing that I would be on stand down working about 2 days a week in the near future, perhaps writing blogs may help subsidy my income a bit. Who knows maybe I might get some temp part time job along the way.  Will start with my recent New Zealand trip where we visited Hobbiton Movie Set. It seems that the only way to get there is to get a tour as it is a private place, we can't just roam around ourselves. The tour guide needs to bring us around.  During the tour, we learned a lot about how the movie making that involves hobbit works, the hobbit are actually adult size and the videos are taken using alignment and positioning illusions. When the wizard and hobbit sits in the same cart, the distance between them is about 3m, which makes it look like they are sitting together and I totally can't tell. I could imagine how hard it is to get everything perfect in the movie. Al...

Real Implications of 2G Service Termination for Singapore

I know the article about 2G service termination across singapore from 1st Apr 2017 was written in 2015. But how many of us actually understand the true impact of this termination then? Before things get terminated, we may have felt that since our phone is the latest model or it is at least new, the impact is minimal. But how true is that really? Please, with Dual SIM feature, it's definitely not a Sunset! It is just the beginning of our agony.. :/ With reference to the article:  http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/telcos-to-end-2g-services/1916108.html . I mainly only realised the impact since 21 Nov but according to M1, they had terminated the 2G services on their prepaid M Card since 15 Nov. So what does this really mean to us consumers? It means that with the Dual SIM phones out there in the market, you are in for a ride! Because, with Samsung's flagship model S7 or even the exploding model Note 7 that's later than S7, the standby or non data SIM opti...

24 Hrs Hello Kitty Cafe @ Changi Airport

Thanks to my colleague who sent me the info of the new kitty cafe and I just so happened to be near that place. Hence I went to see the cute hello kitty cafe that is going to be opened officially from tomorrow 11.30am onwards. It was already opened as soft launch perhaps as I already see customers buying stuff and sitting in that place. It was an open concept place so I probably would drop by after the craze is over to avoid the crowd haha.. since I managed to catch a glimpse of the interior just need to see how's the food like later on.

Schloss Johannisberg Castle

Schloss Johannisberg is a castle and winery in the village of Johannisberg to the west of Wiesbaden, Hesse, in the Rheingau wine-growing region of Germany. However, due to the public holiday, we are pretty much visiting the garden of the castle. At higher part of the castle, there's pretty good view of the area Must take photo with the castle for sake keeping And the river view of course.. Address : 65366 Geisenheim, Germany Official Website :  http://www.schloss-johannisberg.de/en It's pretty much a place I would visit as I am actually on a road trip as it doesn't look that accessible after all.
